Pen and paper won't you tell me what to write
I don't know I can't think and I'd been here half a night
I don't want to hurt her but I love somebody new
Pen and paper help me tell her we're through

Shall I say dear used to be forget me
Or shall I say dear broken heart we'll have to part
When she reads about my new love will she cry
Oh pen (pen) paper (paper) is that a way to say goodbye
